From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. Former foreign editor of Time, Ramo pushes the reader into uncomfortable yet exhilarating places with controversial ways of thinking about global challenges (e.g., studying why Hezbollah is the most efficiently run Islamic militant group). His book, which lays bare the flaws in current thinking on everything from American political influence to the economy, is designed to change the physics of the way we think. Analyzing the failure of the Bush administration's Democratic Peace Theory and the fruitless efforts at a Mideast peace process, Ramo suggests that people must change the role they imagine for themselves from architects of a system they can control to gardeners in a living ecosystem. Ramo's message—that the most dynamic forces emerge from outside elite circles: geeks, iconoclasts and maligned populations—is persuasively argued. And while the author doesn't explicitly offer up solutions, he goads readers to approach problems in unexpected ways. His revelatory work argues that there must be some audacity in thinking before there can be any audacity of hope. (Apr.)

评分一个记者写的所谓大视野大战略之类的书,在我看来基本属于故事+胡扯。据说挺畅销,实在不理解为啥畅销。随便翻了翻,有的地方仔细看一下,因为有一些例子是国际关系类的。其实看看何帆写的译序就可以了。倒是该书附的北京共识认真读了一下,感觉也是标题党,内容太杂。知道北京...
评分乐观是一件很容易的事情,忧患也是一件很容易的事情。在忧患之中,找到乐观的理由,才是最难的事情。 《纽约时报》专栏作家托马斯•弗里德曼是一个不可救药的乐观主义者。他相信“金色M理论”:只要两个国家都有麦当劳,就不会发生战争。这么天真的想法,居然会如此流行,是...
